On June i, 1944, the number of Canadians in the armed forces or otherwise employed numbered 5,016,000, compared with 3.693.000 in i939. Of this total, 1,839,000 had duties connected with the prosecution of the war. That means that their job: will be gone when the war i: finally concluded. But it is estimated that with the return of 11 number to agrimlture, reduced employment of married won-ten, withdrawal of students from employment and retirements of older workers, the employment after the war of 900.000 morn workers than had jobs in i939 “would provide a high rate of employment.” . In other words, the government’: goal of "high employment" (the phrase “full employ- ment" now having been officially dropped) means that, in the post-war scheme, jobs will have to be found for 415931000 persons. It is to be hoped that expectations will be realized. At present it could hardly be said that anything in the White Paper suggcsts that the nature of the problem has been adequately grasped. -EDITORIAL NOTES- ‘"14 The dirt roads demand attentlon, otherwlot political activities will be bogged. <- u - a All flags and bunting, according to law, must be put away over an election. i j fi i lt may sound a little mouototious, but nevertheless it is to our credit, we are again well over the top. n a Yesterday most God-fearing people were on their knees; today they must put their shoulders to the wheel.

The 5011s ln many cases are not suitable for farmlng at all, and almost all show serious damage from erosion. Crop yields, 11nd consequently pro- fits. are therefore far below what. could be obtained in more fertile regions. There 1s no reason why a progressive farmer should choose such an area, and the present farmers have no money to spare for improvements. The report considers the whole question of how the are-a can be made desirable, as it. once was, be- fore lt 11nd been cleared. Much of the land. it suggests, should be fumed again into forest; the only crops lt can produce profit- ably are wood products from the forest. It should never have been cultivated in the first place, and It is impossible to make it yield a fnir living for its lnhabltaaitv by farming it. Other parts of the area can be improved by a proper selectlon of plants, Improved methods of cultivation and care- ful control of erosion. Then, and then only, can they ylcld a living to the farmer.

If the land ls prosperous everyone ln the area benefits, including the citizen of Port Hope who is able to rest se- curely In his house ln the spring.
